World's Best Island

According to Yahoo! Santorini, Greece is the world's best island.  Santorini was so beautiful and a must see if you travel to any of the greek islands.  It's a small island so rather than renting a car we rented an ATV, which Dan loved since he was the one who drove us around.

This leg of our trip was very relaxing.  We walk aimlessly around Fira, visited the little shops and local wineries, laid out on the beach, and enjoyed what the island had to offer.  We also went on a semi private  catamaran cruise which was amazing! There was two other couples and two crew men and we sailed for about 4 hours.  We got to swim in the hot springs of the caldera and eat a home-made meal made on the boat. 

Our last day on the island it rained so our ferry to Mykonos got cancelled.  Since it was raining we didn't mind saying on Santorini and just lounged round.  By this point I was ready to head back to Seattle.  I have to say three weeks of traveling is probably my max.

Doesn't this look like a postcard?


The views were AMAZING!

Our three weeks in Europe was a trip of a lifetime!  I can't wait for our next adventure. :)
